If you are depressed you are living in the past if you are anxious you are living in the future, if you are at peace, you are living in the present.
Lao Tzu
One Liner Wednesday and Just Jot it January are brought to us this week by Linda Hill. If you are inspired to join in, you can find all the rules over at Linda’s place.
I think Lao must have known me. The past is where I dwell. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.

Oh, Pete. I think we all have a certain sense of nostalgia when we reach a certain point in our lives. With the news over the last few days, there are portions of the past that seem very appealing.

I tend to be anxious about the future. However, with age and a yoga practice comes wisdom and a desire to be peaceful in the moment.

That is a hard one for me, too. I worry for my children and my grandchildren and our planet more than I worry about myself. I know my time is limited. Peace is certainly a wonderful goal to shoot for.

That’s a nice perspective. I think I’m in motion between all three. But I’m rarely depressed.

Dan, I don’t know if I have been really depressed in my life. Sad, certainly. Grieving, certainly. I do try to find the positive side of life.

That’s a good way to be (I think).
